The Flemington Farm Stone is a Class I Pictish Standing Stone found late 1961 at Flemington Farm, 30 yards from Aberlemno Kirk (grid reference NO524556).[1][2]

The stone is approximately 1.5 meters tall, 0.5 m wide and 0.3 m thick. It has incised symbols on an unworked stone, defining it under J Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's classification system as a Class I stone.[3] There are two symbols, a horseshoe and a Pictish Beast. The anterior portion of the beast symbol (facing right) has suffered some damage due to ploughing, but is still easily visible.
